  6. Name that acronym!

  7. PLC…

  8. Professional Learning Community “...educators committed to working collaboratively in ongoing processes of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve. Professional learning communities operate under the assumption that the key to improved learning for students is continuous, job-embedded learning for educators (DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, and Many, 2006).”

  9. CFA...

  10. Common Formative Assessment “...an assessment FOR learning, a tool used to inform both the teacher and the student about the student’s current level of achievement, to guide the teacher’s instructional practice, to help the student understand what steps must be taken to further his or her learning, and to motivate the student to take those steps.” (Wiliam & Thompson, 2007)

  11. RTI2...

  12. Response to Instruction and Intervention “The RTI2 Framework is a model that promotes recommended practices for an integrated system connecting general and special education by the use of high-quality, scientifically research-based instruction and intervention.” (Tennessee Department of Education, 2013) “The RTI2 framework is a three-tier model that provides an ongoing process of instruction and interventions that allow students to make progress at all levels, particularly those students who are struggling or advancing.” (Tennessee Department of Education, 2013)

  13. PBIS paved the way to RTI2 • Three tiered support system • Tier 2 level supports in place for behavior • PLC and building-wide systematic referral process for requesting support

  14. Anticipated a need for intervention time in our schedule

Staff Involvement Teacher Expectations Supporting Students on PAWS Dear staff, As we work together to support students on the PAWS program we need to adhere to certain criteria to promote their success. Please review the following expectations: ____ Review and provide feedback to students on a frequent basis (every 30 minutes- 1 hour) ____ Provide positive feedback to students about behavior expectations they are meeting ____ Provide feedback on student behavior that needs changing (“work on raising your hand before speaking to be respectful”, “remember to keep you hands and feet to yourself to be safe”) Thank you for all of the support that you are giving to our students!
